International Environmental Standards and Corporate Policies: An Integrative Framework
针对跨国公司在不同运营环境下制定环境管理政策的复杂性，提出一个框架帮助它们根据环境风险为工厂定制环境政策，而非仅依赖ISO 14000等国际标准的认证。
Corporations engaged in international business face increasingly complex challenges in preparing environmental management policies for their plants or sites in different operating environments. Rapidly evolving international standards such as ISO 14000 encourage corporations to certify their environmental management systems, but leave them broad discretion in formulating environmental policies. Certification of corporate environmental policies and management systems, however, may not be adequate for companies with plants that use different technologies and production processes or that are located at sites with different environmental characteristics. This article proposes a framework that can help international corporations develop tailored environmental policies for their plants based on their environmental risks.
